The LSA Committee on Ethnic Diversity in Linguistics has established a travel fund for minority students who are giving a paper at the LSA Annual Meeting or at any of the concurrent sessions. Students may apply for travel funds (up to $500) from CEDL by submitting an application to the Chair of CEDL. An application consists of: (1) a letter from the student designating the minority group to which the student belongs and estimating the travel costs; (2) a copy of the abstract; and (3) a brief letter of support from the student's advisor or department chair. The letter from the advisor or chair must indicate that the student is in good standing in his or her program of studies and how much travel money the student's home institution will be contributing to support the student. (We encourage institutions to support students with conference travel money when possible.) This letter must be sealed in an envelope with the advisor's or chair's signature over the flap. Please submit applications to: Marianna Di Paolo, Chair of CEDL, U UT, Dept Ling, 255 S Central Campus Dr Rm 2328, Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0492; (801) 581-8047; (801) 585-7351 (fax); m.dipaolo@m.cc.utah.edu (Questions/comments only, please. Put 'CEDL Scholarship Q' in the subject line.)
Eligible students will be funded based on the ranking their abstract receives from the relevant program committee. Before CEDL releases funds to a student who has been awarded a CEDL travel scholarship, the Chair of CEDL must be provided with evidence that the student is a member of the LSA and has registered for the annual meeting in question. Students may be asked to provide travel receipts. For the January 2004 annual meeting, CEDL will award travel money to two students. Depending on the available funds, CEDL hopes to increase the number of awards to three for the 2005 annual meeting. The scholarship program is funded by donations made to CEDL.
Students who wish to attend the LSA Annual Meeting in January 2004 should apply by no later than 15 November 2003 in order for their application to be given proper consideration before the meeting. The Committee cannot be responsible for considering applications arriving after that date.
